Iris has been acquired so development is up to the community, there are two active iris-based communities so far.
Use one of these projects instead:
https://github.com/get-ion/ion
Ion is a fast, simple and efficient micro web framework for Go. It provides a beautifully expressive and easy to use foundation for your next website, API, or distributed app.
- a bit faster than Iris version 7, based on
ab - stable api
- more examples
- sessions, websockets, typescript and cloud editor(fixed) on different packages
- test cov, including examples
- slack bot for support automation
- has a FAQ page which is part of the gitbook.com beta program
- central issue portal
- HuHu supported
https://github.com/go-siris/siris
A fast, cross-platform and efficient web framework with robust set of well-designed features, written entirely in Go.
- three maintainers
- plan to stabilize api, no unneeded changes
- plan to increase test-coverage
- plan to add more middlewares and examples
If your team's project is missing from this list, please contact with me.
Iris project has been acquired by a Dubai-based startup.
Both sides agree that every related public data should remain open for at least 30 days.
After the period of 30 days, company has the proprietary rights to delete or transfer this repository and all its related public data forever without any warnings.
The company may or may not reveal its true identity to the public.
Transaction of the public domains still in-progress:
View-accessed users can clone the current state of the project's public repositories and use without any warranties.
From now on, Original Author owns a high position to the company's table.
At any circumstances,
Original Author keeps the creation rights.
Clone the repository today because if I can't find a new lead maintainer for the v7.2 you, as community, will have to find a way to communicate about its future, the name "iris go" was taken by the company too, so it will be nice if the future main contributor change its name too, if you don't do it I will not beat you but I don't know the full company's law-plan for this, yet.
All donators, without any exception, will have my support for at least 6 months (for all iris versions), we have a private room at the chat.
Don't worry I will not let you down, we're trying to find a decent open-source contributor to continue the Iris' open-source codebase. I'm already in touch with some good gophers but If you're willing to maintain this project please send me details about your experience, general bio and your github username.
I am really thankful for all of your support to me and the community, all donations, all bug reports, all comments without any exception. I did proceeded with all my physical abilities so far but unfortunately there weren't enough for my survivor. I'm really sorry if the latest news made iris open-source community disappointed but you have to see things from my point view, I was one step before bankruptcy, I had no other choice but accept the offer.
A fast, cross-platform and efficient web framework with robust set of well-designed features, written entirely in Go.
Build your own web applications and portable APIs with the highest performance and countless potentials.
If you're coming from Node.js world, this is the expressjs++ equivalent for the Go Programming Language.

- Post a feature request or report a bug, will help to make the framework even better.
- ⭐ and watch the project, will notify you about updates.
- 🌎 publish an article or share a tweet about Iris.
- Donations, will help me to continue.
I'll be glad to talk with you about your awesome feature requests, open a new discussion, you will be heard!
Thanks in advance!
Iris is free and open source but developing it has taken thousands of hours of my time and a large part of my sanity. If you feel this web framework useful to you, it would go a great way to ensuring that I can afford to take the time to continue to develop it.
I spend all my time in the construction of Iris, therefore I have no income value.
Feel free to send any amount through paypal:
Please check your e-mail after your donation.
Thanks for your gratitude and finance help ♡
Iris has its own middleware form of func(ctx context.Context) but it's also compatible with all net/http middleware forms. See here.
I'm sure that each of you have, already, found his own favorite list but here's a small list of third-party handlers:
| Middleware | Author | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tollbooth | Didip Kerabat | Generic middleware to rate-limit HTTP requests. Example |
| goth | Mark Bates | OAuth, OAuth2 authentication. Example |
| binding | Matt Holt | Data binding from HTTP requests into structs |
| cloudwatch | Colin Steele | AWS cloudwatch metrics middleware |
| csp | Awake Networks | Content Security Policy (CSP) support |
| delay | Jeff Martinez | Add delays/latency to endpoints. Useful when testing effects of high latency |
| New Relic Go Agent | Yadvendar Champawat | Official New Relic Go Agent (currently in beta) |
| gorelic | Jingwen Owen Ou | New Relic agent for Go runtime |
| JWT | Auth0 | Middleware checks for a JWT on the Authorization header on incoming requests and decodes it. Example |
| logrus | Dan Buch | Logrus-based logger |
| onthefly | Alexander Rødseth | Generate TinySVG, HTML and CSS on the fly |
| permissions2 | Alexander Rødseth | Cookies, users and permissions |
| prometheus | Rene Zbinden | Easily create metrics endpoint for the prometheus instrumentation tool |
| render | Cory Jacobsen | Render JSON, XML and HTML templates |
| RestGate | Prasanga Siripala | Secure authentication for REST API endpoints |
| secure | Cory Jacobsen | Middleware that implements a few quick security wins |
| stats | Florent Messa | Store information about your web application (response time, etc.) |
| VanGoH | Taylor Wrobel | Configurable AWS-Style HMAC authentication middleware |

| digits | Bilal Amarni | Middleware that handles Twitter Digits authentication |
Feel free to put up a PR your middleware!
The httptest package is your way for end-to-end HTTP testing, it uses the httpexpect library created by our friend, gavv.
A simple test is located to ./_examples/intermediate/httptest/main_test.go
The Iris philosophy is to provide robust tooling for HTTP, making it a great solution for single page applications, web sites, hybrids, or public HTTP APIs. Keep note that, today, iris is faster than apache+nginx itself.
Iris does not force you to use any specific ORM or template engine. With support for the most popular template engines, you can quickly craft your perfect application.
The author of Iris is @kataras.
However the real Success of Iris belongs to you with your bug reports and feature requests that made this Framework so Unique.
I really need to thank each one of them because they stood up♡ to keep this project alive and active.

Besides the fact that we have a community chat for questions or reports and ideas, stackoverflow section for generic go+iris questions and the iris support for bug reports and feature requests, you can also contact with me, as a person who is always open to help you:
Current: 7.2.0
Each new release is pushed to the master. It stays there until the next version. When a next version is released then the previous version goes to its own branch with gopkg.in as its import path (and its own vendor folder), in order to keep it working "for-ever".
Community members can request additional features or report a bug fix for a specific iris version.
Developers are not forced to use the latest Iris version, they can use any version in production, they can update at any time they want.
Testers should upgrade immediately, if you're willing to use Iris in production you can wait a little more longer, transaction should be as safe as possible.
Each Iris version is independent. Only bug fixes, Router's API and experience are kept.
Previous versions can be found at releases page.
Unless otherwise noted, the source files are distributed under the BSD-3-Clause License found in the LICENSE file.
Note that some third-party packages that you use with Iris may requires different license agreements.
